Factory People Engagement Surveys are Conducted But No Action Taken

Home » Factory People Engagement Surveys are Conducted But No Action Taken

Most companies conduct employee engagement surveys because they want to gather the opinions of their staff. The challenge is then…

…that the senior team wants to use the data to make positive changes for the benefit of their staff, but they struggle. The struggle is because the senior team has no path to follow and no tools to use. Furthermore, their experience in implementing the findings to better engage people is likely to be limited.

‘Positive Production People’ (P3) Solves this Problem

P3 provides a structured programme for the senior team to put in place. In essence, P3 is a three-year people engagement programme, investing in colleagues’ development, listening to colleagues, combined with a reward & recognition scheme. Ideal for factories of over 250 employees. In a case study with a Top 20 plc Supplier to Tesco, P3 was found to improve people engagement by 20%!

Engage People for Higher Profits

Recent studies and research lend support to the simple fact that happier employees increase productivity. This, in turn, helps drive higher profits. Below, are just a few examples:

Gallup:

A Gallup study in 2015 reports that 50.8% of the workforce in the US were ‘not engaged’. Furthermore, another 17.2% were ‘actively disengaged’. These employees, while not hostile, did the bare minimum. They made little effort to go the extra mile. Moreover, they were more likely to miss work and resign.

Lack of employee engagement is a global issue. In 2016, Gallup published a report on how Germany is negatively affected by disengaged employees. 84% of employees in the country were considered to be ‘disengaged’ or ‘actively disengaged’. This results in an estimated loss of €75 billion to €99 billion annually from lost productivity.

Other Studies:

The Incentive Research Foundation compiled a study on the Cost of Employee Disengagement. In 2010, as much as $350 billion is lost annually to low productivity, theft, accidents and employee turnover in the US alone.

Also in 2010, the University of Pennsylvania researchers affirmed Southwest Airlines founder, Herb Kelleher’s idea that corporate results have a direct correlation to workplace morale. In the study, the team found that the “Top 100 Best Companies to Work for in America” also had a 3.5% higher than average annual returns.

In their employee engagement research, the Corporate Leadership Council found that up to 76% of employees are “up for grabs” in terms of engagement, and could become engaged or disengaged.
